VR Experiences
- Within
Cinematic VR. - Project Empathy
A collection of virtual reality experiences that help us see the world through the eyes of another. - Traveling While Black VR Experience
Traveling While Black is a cinematic VR experience that immerses the viewer in the long history of restriction of movement for black Americans and the creation of safe spaces in our communities. - We Wait VR Experience
Based on BBC News interviews with migrants, We Wait is a dramatised story transporting you to the heart of the refugee crisis. Aardman’s experience in animation and storytelling comes together to make this look and feel radically different from any other documentary VR experience to date. - I am a Man
The “I Am A Man VR Experience” gives people an experience of history in a way that provides a better and more personal understanding of the struggles of these marginalized people. The VR experience allows one to literally walk in the shoes of the people who fought for freedom and equality during the civil rights era. Using historical film and photographs, along with voice narrations of actual Civil Rights participants, the project falls along the lines of a new type of interactive-documentary experience.
